For the past 8 years we have been seeing fans unite to show their team spirit for a great and worthy cause.
MARCH MADNESS CHALLENGE
8th Annual March Madness Challenge
March Madness has returned to Ashure Ministry! Every year we ask fans to donate either food or money on behalf of their favorite college basketball team to see which fan base has the most team spirit and the biggest heart! Every year continues to be more exciting and crazier than the last, and we expect nothing different this year.
Collections will begin on March 1st and run through 11:59:59 PM on Wednesday, April 8th. Food is always a slam dunk for us, so it will count as 1 pound = 2 points. However, money helps us score even more, so it will count as $1 = 3 points. The team with the most points at the end of the period wins the challenge! We will also announce the church, office, business, school, or other organization scoring the greatest number of points! The announcements will be made on April 10th.
Thank you for your enthusiastic participation over the previous years. They were great, but we’re always hoping to run up the score. So, reach down deep, find your team spirit, and let’s go MAD!
